Standards

International or country standards related to marine renewable energy.

International and country-specific standards provide guidance on all aspects of the development, deployment, and operation of marine renewable energy devices. Some standards attempt to ensure safety and the reliability of marine renewable energy devices and their various components. Other standards are meant to normalize data collection and processing to encourage the sharing and transferability of the findings.
